1. Estudo sobre a identificação de hádrons em câmaras de fotoemulsão / Study about hadron identification in emulsion chambers
This work introduces the importance of photoemulsion chambers that remain in use after decades and still offer many advantages for elementary particle physics. We cite OPERA (Oscillation Project with Emulsion-tRacking Apparatus) detector that is the greatest lead photoemulsion chamber detector ever constructed as an example of its application nowadays (nine

2. Produção de estranheza em colisões de ions pesados relativisticos / Strangeness production in relkativistic heavy ion collisions
Relativistic heavy-ion collisions allow us to study the behavior of nuclear matter at extreme conditions of temperature and energy density. In these conditions, we expect a phase transition of matter where a free state of quarks and gluons would be formed, and that is known as Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP). With the aim to study this new state of matter and its f

3. Quark matter (strangelets) from astrophysical sources and its detection by terrestrial experiments. / Matéria de quarks (strangelets) de origem astrofísica e sua detecção por experimentos terrestres
The strange quark matter hypothesis, which states that a plasma composed of quarks up, down and strange in roughly equal amounts is absolutely stable at zero pressure, has been studied for more than twenty years, both theoretically and during searches for its detection in specific experiments. If strange quark matter is indeed stable, then there could be imp

4. Estudo fenomenológico dos neutrinos em experimentos que utilizam fontes terrestres / Phenomenological study of neutrino experiments that use land-based sources
Nesta tese, realizamos dois tipos de estudos fenomenológicos através de uma análise detalhada de alguns experimentos terrestres atuais e futuros. No primeiro, estudamos dois mecanismos exóticos de conversão de sabor: descoerência quântica e interações não padrão do neutrino com a matéria. Para descoerência, vinculamos o parâmetro de descoerênc

5. Novo limite superior para asa razão de decaimento radiativo / New upper limit for right wing of radioactive decay.
Nessa tese procuramos o decaimento radioativo raro - -. É um dos resultados da experiência E761 realizada no Proton Center do Fermilab, usando o feixe de híperons carregados com momento de 377 GeV/c. Medimos a fração deste feixe que é constituída de -, sendo esta (3,9 ±0,3)X10-5. Não encontramos sinal do decaimento radiativo - - e determinamos um no

6. Physics and mathematics at the frontier
The relation between elementary particle physics and mathematics is explored. The beauty and effectiveness of the mathematical structures that appear in fundamental physics are discussed.

8. Old and new relics in cosmology (A Review)
Deep connections have been found between cosmology and elementary particle physics.

9. Dark matter: theoretical perspectives.
I both review and make the case for the current theoretical prejudice: a flat Universe whose dominant constituent is nonbaryonic dark matter, emphasizing that this is still a prejudice and not yet fact. The theoretical motivation for nonbaryonic dark matter is discussed in the context of current elementary-particle theory, stressing that (i) there are no dar

10. A closer look at the elementary fermions
Although there have been many experimental and theoretical efforts to measure and interpret small deviations from the standard model of particle physics, the gap that the model leaves in understanding why there are only three generations of the elementary fermions, with hierarchical masses, has not received the attention it deserves. I present here an a
